Meniscal root tears, less common than meniscal body tears and frequently unrecognized,
are a subset of meniscal injuries that often result in significant knee joint disorders. The …

Purpose: Menisci transfer axial loads, while increasing the load-bearing tibiofemoral contact
area and decreasing tibiofemoral contact pressure (CP). Numerous clinical and …

Background and context: Surgical procedures are evolving toward less invasive and more
tailored approaches to consider the specific pathology, morphology, and life habits of a …

The integrity of the meniscal root insertions is fundamental to preserve correct knee
kinematics and avoid degenerative changes of the knee. Injuries to the meniscal …

Purpose To compare post-operative clinical outcomes of discoid meniscus tear procedures
such as saucerization with or without repair with those of non-discoid meniscus tears such …

Purpose: This study presents a patient-specific finite element model approach, focusing on
tibial plateau fractures, to enhance biomechanical knowledge to optimize surgical trauma …

BACKGROUND: Laterally wedged insoles are widely applied in the conservative treatment
for medial knee osteoarthritis. Experimental studies have been conducted to understand the …

It is not known how inhomogeneous mechanical properties of bone affect contact mechanics
and cartilage response during physiological loading of the knee joint. In this study, a finite …

Radiographic measurements have established a link between meniscus extrusion and
meniscus degeneration as well as with knee osteoarthritis. The presented work combines …

Background: Schaztker II fracture is the most common type of the tibial plateau fractures
(TPF). There has been a large number of cadaveric biomechanical studies and finite …
